Individuals of all ages can participate. Work sites vary from projects in the creek to those suitable for children. Last year, a record number of more than 400 participants cleaned up litter and non-native plants from 1,459 acres of Boneyard Creek at seven different locations.

Scott Park will again serve as the event’s primary setting for lunch, music, and interactive learning displays following cleanup activities.
